I'm A Senior Now! (Pt.1)

            This last week has been very stressful. I have attempted to carefully balance hanging out with friends and going to grad parties with finishing our homework and studying for the upcoming SAT subject tests. This year I am taking the US history and Chemistry subject tests as I recently took those AP Exams. Nonetheless, I am still at least 350 pages away from being ready if not more. Homework appeared to be done as of this morning as our language portfolios and US projects were turned in last week and I put the finishing touches on our AP Psychology project yesterday night. But surely enough, as I walk into the computer lab for AP Lang, I find out that I accidentally missed a week of blogging. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy keeping up to date and discussing economics but at this point I was kind of hoping for some extra time free of school to study and relax. But enough bickering! I wanted to briefly talk about this term as a whole.

            Third term has definitely been far easier than second term which was seriously hindered by swim season. Though I do play tennis in the spring it is far less time consuming and generally stressing than swim season. Tennis is best described as my fun sport; that sport that you do because you have nothing better to do, it’s fun and your friends do it. I would like to be better at tennis but that’s probably not going to happen soon. In the mean time, I shall content myself with playing with friends over the weekends and slowly bettering myself. Otherwise, classes with the exception of French have come to a close as focus has shifted towards the AP exams. The AP exams took place in the first week of March and are in part the reason why I took such a long break in blogging. To broadly evaluate this year’s exams, I’d say United States history was a solid 3/4, Language and Composition was a bit uncertain at 3/4/5, AP Calculus was good at a 4/5, Psychology was generally easy and should be a 4/5 and Chemistry was… well it was chemistry and I’ll give it a 2/3/4 hopefully. If all turns out well, I’ll get a few fives and fours but no guarantees. The one benefit of all these AP exams shows up around finals; we don’t have finals. This week all I really have to study for is my French final. Otherwise, in US I get to watch people present projects (I’m done with mine which was about Rain Man. It was a great movie that you should watch if you haven’t already), LA I get to do this blog and a final one, Psych I present a movie and Chem we go to donut-land! Calculus has been the best of all; most of the class is comprised of seniors who have now graduated and as a result, I don’t even have to go to class and have a free third hour.
